📣 School readiness for families.

School readiness is defined by two characteristics in four dimensions. The characteristic features are ‘transition’ and ‘gaining competencies’.
Transition is defined as children moving into and adjusting to new learning environments, families learning to work with a sociocultural system (i.e. education), and schools making provisions for admitting new children into the system, representing individual and societal diversity.

Gaining competencies is about children entering the pre primary education with having the necessary social, emotional, cognitive and language competences, and skills in order to be able to engage in and benefit from early learning experiences, be able to successfully learn and progress to later stages of learning, and for each to child to gain confidence with feeling comfortable and safe, making friends and participating and showing positive attitudes and dispositions to learning.
